To sustain the health benefits of seafood, she says, use healthy preparation methods, such as baking, broiling and poaching, along with heart-healthy oils, including canola oil, olive oil, corn oil, soybean oil, safflower oil and sunflower oil.

I just want to ask if I can bake it instead of broiling it or maybe cooking it in a pan. If baking, how much heat and for how long. Thanks.

Hi Teresita,
Katie Rankell, registered dietitian with the UCI Health Weight Management Program, offers these options:
1: You can bake the salmon at 450 degrees F for 12 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
2: Or, you can sear the salmon in a pan on medium-high heat for two to three minutes per side or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Note: The internal temperature of the fish should be 145 degrees F.
